DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)

Figure 1.1. - DTC and General Information

Parameter

• DTC = The Allison 4th/5th Gen Control system uses a five character, a letter and four numbers, diagnostic trouble codes (for example on Figure 1.1 above - P2808).
• Active = Y/N (Yes/No), indicates if the Trouble Code is currently active. When a code is logged by the TCM, and the condition causing the code still exists, that code is said to be active, otherwise the trouble code is inactive.
• Historic = "Y" indicates a diagnostic code has been stored to TCM memory as a valid fault. 
• Check Trans = "Y" indicates that the DTC is significant enough to turn on the CHECK TRANS light. Not every DTC activates the CHECK TRANS light. 
• Failure Record = "Y" indicates that a failure record has been generated and stored for the DTC.
• Description = Describes the DTC.
